Full details

This Pipercross Performance Replacement Element (PP1718) is designed for drivers seeking enhanced engine performance and airflow without major modifications. It offers a significant airflow increase over restrictive paper filters, leading to crisper throttle response and improved acceleration. The primary caveat is that it's a direct replacement for the original airbox, meaning no additional performance parts are included.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main benefit of this Pipercross filter?

The main benefit is increased airflow to the engine (up to 40% more than stock paper filters), which can lead to improved horsepower, throttle response, and potentially better fuel economy.

Do I need any special tools to install this filter?

No, the Pipercross PP1718 is designed as a direct replacement. You typically only need basic hand tools to open the airbox, similar to changing a standard paper filter.

How often should I clean the Pipercross filter?

It is recommended to clean the filter when it appears dirty or at intervals similar to your vehicle's regular service schedule (e.g., every 10,000-15,000 miles), or sooner if driving in dusty conditions.

Will this filter make my car louder?

No, Pipercross filters are designed to improve airflow without increasing intake sound.

What does 'Lifetime Warranty' mean?

The Limited Lifetime Warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the normal life of the product. It does not cover damage from misuse, improper cleaning, or accidents.

Can I use regular soap and water to clean the filter?

While a mild detergent and water can be used, using a dedicated Pipercross cleaning kit is recommended for optimal cleaning and longevity of the filter material.

Is this filter better than a high-flow panel filter?

This filter is a high-flow replacement designed to outperform standard paper filters. Its effectiveness compared to other types of aftermarket filters will depend on specific design and application.

Troubleshooting

Reduced performance after installation

Ensure the filter is correctly seated in the airbox and that no air leaks are present around the filter seal. Check if the filter requires cleaning.

Filter appears damaged

Inspect the filter carefully for any tears or damage to the foam. If damage is found, do not use the filter and contact customer support under the lifetime warranty.

Difficulty fitting the filter

Double-check that you have the correct part number (PP1718) for your vehicle. Ensure the airbox is clean and free of obstructions, and that the filter is oriented correctly.

  • Cleaning Process:
  1. Carefully remove the filter from the airbox.
  2. Use a soft brush or compressed air (blown from the inside out) to remove loose debris.
  3. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated Pipercross cleaning kit or a mild detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly.
